H-1B Fees, Anthropic, Shutdown Odds, Kenvue

In this week’s Votes and Verdicts podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence’s litigation and policy team examines several key catalysts. Matt Schettenhelm reviews the legality of President Donald Trump’s proclamation on raising H-1B visa fees to $100,000. Tamlin Bason explains the impact of the H-1B visa fee increase on IT-service companies like Cognizant and Infosys, and why a recent $1.5 billion settlement between Anthropic and authors matters. Nathan Dean updates his outlook on the likelihood of a US government shutdown this month, while Holly Froum discusses how Trump’s comments linking Tylenol to autism will affect class-action litigation against Kenvue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dinner Table Politics Bonneville International The Bennett family has been at the heart of Utah politics for over half a century. So what happens when they talk about the issues of the day around the dinner table? Join Jim, the dad, and Abby, the daughter for a free- wheeling political discussion with an intergenerational perspective. College student Abby is a political independent, while her father Jim is a former Republican who became the first candidate of the new United Utah Party in 2017, running for Congress and garnering over 14,000 votes. Jim's father, Bob Bennett, served as a GOP senator from Utah for eighteen years after being unceremoniously ousted by the Tea Party. Bob was well-respected and, toward the end of his life, co-created the Utah Debate Commission, facilitating public discourse between leading candidates. Jim was the first non-Republican/non-Democrat to participate in a UDC debate. Abby may well be the next.
